Fibers

Faculty:

The studio includes facilities for various surface processes such as screen-printing and dye work, as well as cloth construction on tapestry, four- and eight-harness floor looms. Including the recent upgrade of fourteen new Schacht 4 and 8 harness floor looms and twenty new tapestry looms. Traditional and contemporary approaches in both two and three dimensions are explored.

On a chilly December day, Fiber Design students imbued the otherwise cold and grey landscape at the Downtown Greeley Transfer Station with a cacophony of color and texture with crocheted vines, flowers, and bees (among other yarn flora and fauna)

Lynn Cornelius, head of the Fibers area in the School of Art & Design, led her students in the collaboration of creating a fantastical garden intended to surprise and delight people as they went about their everyday routine of waiting for a bus.
